Water Pokemon Master: I admit I haven't studied actively all the time, took sometimes really long breaks, but for 9 years I have studied. I think two years of intense studying could bring you to some level, however remember that Japanese is a language which offers a challenge of endless studying with all those characters and levels of speech, for instance the differences between formal and informal speech. Also vocabulary is full of words which do not resemble any European expressions and so on. I'm not sure if I'm good enough at Japanese to teach it but I still want to take the challenge.

But mr_pikachu, what did you have to contribute?
